Chapter 274: Eggs Hurt
“Mo, you misunderstood. Don’t twist my words. I’m just looking out for you.” Ye Xuan maintained his light smile and said politely to him, not showing any signs of anger.
This made it seem like Ye Mo was the one who was being unreasonable and impolite!
The villagers watched the two relatives bicker and did not interrupt. After all, in their eyes, Ye Mo was a very violent man!
“Mo, place these bamboo shoots over there.” Liu Duo asked Ye Mo to move the bamboo shoots. She didn’t want Ye Mo to argue with Ye Xuan anymore.
They could just ignore him. If he wanted to stay there, let him stay. Why did they need to waste their breath?
Ye Mo heard Liu Duo’s order and immediately moved the bamboo shoots they had paid for over to Little Lian’s side, since they were currently removing the old skin.
“Sister-in-law, I will help you grind the ink.” Ye Xuan eagerly wanted to help Liu Duo do something.
Upon hearing this, before Ye Mo could even start shouting, Liu Duo said, “Are so bored that your eggs hurt [1]? If your eggs hurt, then go home. We don’t have a doctor here to help cure you!”
Eggs? Did chicken eggs, duck eggs, or bird eggs feel pain?
Ye Xuan was stunned. All the other men there were stunned as well.
They did not understand what this modern slang meant. All of them stared at Liu Duo with a face that seemed to be asking her to explain herself.
Even Aunt Li and Little Lian did the same!
Liu Duo laughed frantically when she saw this. Mischievously, she glanced over at Ye Xuan’s crotch. “Don’t you have two eggs over there!”
Ye Xuan’s face turned red when he heard what Liu Duo said. Last time, she had daringly kicked his little brother [2]. And now, she looked at his crotch. He couldn’t help but get embarra.s.sed, and he felt his body heat up.
All the people there had the same reaction. Especially Little Lian. Her face got so red that blood was about to come out.
Liu Duo, a girl, could actually say out such filthy words. This was really too shocking!
All the men there, besides Ye Yang and the others, all muttered in their hearts, This shared wife of the Ye brothers’ family is really brave!
“Little Duo.” Ye Yang, his ears blus.h.i.+ng, called her.
He didn’t want Liu Duo to talk such nonsense like Ye Liu! How could a girl say such things?
Liu Duo winked naughtily towards Ye Yang with her big eyes, as if to say, I’m just explaining what eggs meant. How else would you guys understand?
At that time, Little Huzi started to cry, and the sound of his cries dissolved the awkward atmosphere.
They started buying the bamboo shoots again. Liu Duo allowed the villagers to weight the bamboo shoots themselves and then tell her the weight. She would pay them the money after she recorded it.
Ye Mo didn’t chase Ye Xuan out anymore, since he was worried Liu Duo might say something dirty again.
Ye Xuan also just watched Liu Duo as she worked quietly. He would just occasionally help her to grind the ink. Ye Mo would glance at him when he did so, but Ye Xuan just laughed and didn’t mind him. He basically just did his own thing, without feeling concerned. He was not afraid that Ye Mo’s piercing gazes would hurt him!
After paying the last villager in the yard for the bamboo shoots, Liu Duo started to do the accounting.
Ye Xuan looked at Liu Duo’s record book. It was very detailed and the handwriting was quite neat as well. Ye Xuan said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, who taught you how to write?”
In his heart, he knew it was Ye Mo, but he still wanted to ask anyway.
“Is it any of your business?” Liu Duo didn’t even lift up her head and continued to look at her record book.
However, Ye Mo said, “It was me who taught her. What of it?”
Ye Mo felt extremely proud. It was because of his hard work that their wife knew how to read and write!
“Nothing. Just asking.” Ye Xuan did not feel anything regarding Ye Mo’s bad att.i.tude. He did not care about it.
